35 weeks and 1 day

Heyy all mommies. I'm a ftm and as time gets closer I'm getting really really nervous. Had a lot of problems with high blood pressure which doctor put me on blood pressure pill 3 times a day. Also been checked for toxemia cause my feet, legs, and face swell. BEen put on bedrest. Doctor said that baby girl looks fine. She has a big head. He also said that he would be happy to get me to 38 weeks. Also said I wouldn't be able to have her natural. I've had 2 steroid shots to help develop her lungs. Really nervous bout having a C-section. How long do you stay in the hospital after you have one. HOw sore was you?

Yea i was too. I was so scared. But it was not anything like i thought it was going to be. Also where they cut me you can't even see it anymore. Use cocoa butter after it is healed. I can barely tell there's a scar there. But don't get all freaked out because Its actually really easy

I had a c-section with my first child. its really not that bad. I thought it was going to be horrible. but all they do is take in a room and I put that blue sheet up. any you can't feel nothing. then I heard my baby cry. they had to put eight staples and me. that didn't hurt either. also after I had it done I had to wear a pad and very loose pants across the c-section. what's my second I had him natural. I think that was harder because all the pushing. but good luck and don't be scared. you won't feel a thing and then once you hear that baby cry, you'll be in tears also. I know I was...
